Grade: B-

The sequel to Miss Congeniality, which came out about 3 years ago, actually takes place on screen 3 weeks after the pageant that launched our FBI heroine Gracie into the spotlight. No need to see the first movie to catch on to the background – it’s all pretty much spelled out in the first 10 minutes. This time it’s much more of a buddy movie, and Sandra Bullock’s sidekick is Regina Hall. Of course, the two are mismatched, and reluctant partners, but they end up finding common ground and working together to save the day. Some silly slapstick moments, but it’s still good to see two strong women having such a good time!
